This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we are still down a Scot, as he is still unwell.  But that will not slow him down in contributing to this ep!  Before we get into the main segments, we chat about Ben & Frank's latest Plastic Addiction, in the form of Transformers Blokees!  Prior to chatting about the Superman Film itself, we focus on the Toy likeness compared to what the actor actually looks like! With a little Jurassic World banter in between.  Then, without another moment to spare, we get right into the James Gunn driven film itself!  We chat towards our Cinema experiences and start off with a non-spoiler discussion; before we head into a chat about the whole Film itself!  Giving it our typical DVG rating out of 19 too.  Then changing gears, we introduce a New segment - named: Variant Schmariant!  We each pick two variants of a pre-existing character (in toy form) that just doesn't need to exist.  We unearth some quite silly versions of characters that had a legitimate Toy Release; that clearly logic was not a concern at all!!  Plus we tie a nice bow around the proposed Nick-Names for both Frank & Scot.  Enjoy!!

As streamed on our FB page (forgive us, we are old) we went visual to celebrate our 400th episode! The chat went off, prizes were dished out, Davey was in the house (he even brought along Olly), it was all happening! Come see some of our favourite "antique roadshow" toys from across the spectrum. Then we try to trick Davey in a game we call Private Parts. Who do these item belong too? We all have convincing back stories but only one us is the true owner! Even without the video, enjoy this crazy ride!

This week on the Toy Power Podcast; we recap our attendance at the Adelaide Mega Toy Fair event.  This annual event promotes itself for its long running campaign; but with new organisers this year, how did it actually go?  We chat towards what we spotted, what we think needs to be improved & what we scored!!  Spoiler alert: Pub Lunch & making a day of it with great friends, is always the overall highlight!!  Then Trent does an awesome Toyline Retrospective on the early 80's franchise that was: Blackstar!  With a Filmation Cartoon airing first in 1981; then a corresponding Toyline from Galoob in 1983!  Featuring the fight between our Hero: John Blackstar against the Evil Ruler: Overlord on the Planet Sagar.  This Toyline & franchise actually has more ties to Masters Of The Universe than one may think....  There are some EPIC Beasts, questionable modes of transport & the incredibly sort after Ice Castle Playset - this Franchise really tried hard & its interesting to think in a sliding doors parallel reality - could this have been a more popular franchise than Masters Of The Universe?!  Then rounding out the episode, we squeeze a quick round table, around some of our Latest Scores!

Also, as mentioned in this ep; be sure to checkout the incredibly comprehensive website from Avon Fox - around all the Vintage style Transforming Robots that aren't Hasbro branded!  - www.the-liberator.net
